125. The Lie We Were Sold About Discipline with Courtney Townley

from Embracing Enough · host Dina Scippa

What if the reason you feel “inconsistent” has nothing to dowith your willpower… and everything to do with self-betrayal?In this episode of Embracing Enough, Dina sits downwith Courtney Townley, author of The Consistency Code and host of the Grace and Grit podcast, for a leadership truth-telling conversation about the lie women have been sold about discipline.High-achieving women are taught to equate discipline withworth. Productivity with virtue. Burnout with commitment.And when that formula inevitably collapses, we blameourselves.This conversation pulls the curtain back on how wellnessculture and leadership norms quietly condition women to override their bodies in the name of “doing it right.” Together, Dina and Courtney reframe consistency not as white-knuckled control - but as self-trust. Not as rule-following - but as self-honoring.This is not an episode about food plans, habit hacks, orfitness routines.It’s about authority. Agency. Embodiment.And the uncomfortable freedom that comes when you stop outsourcing leadership - including leadership over your own body.If you’ve ever said, “I just need to be more consistent,”this episode might change what you think that actually means.To learn more about Courtney Townley and her work, visit https://graceandgrit.com/programs/ and follow her on Instagram at @gracegrit
